At the end of the last century, in the vicinity of what is now Wembley, there were only soccer and cricket fields, huge walking trails and endless green areas where you can practice sports or have a picnic. Today the arch of the new stadium, its 133 meters high, its beacon lights because international aviation standards require it, the iconic image that pretends, perhaps without achieving it yet, to replace the two towers of the old Wembley, practically passes unnoticed among the dozen cranes that, literally, surround the stage of tonight's party hammering the atmosphere with the noise of the works. Old Wembley was one of the two cathedrals of world football - along with Maracana. The new Wembley, born in 2007, artificially prolongs that mystique trying to maintain that aristocratic point that distinguishes it from other important theaters. And to this aristocratic place, to this country where traditions are law, today comes a noble come to less in search of his own past. Spain, a landless landowner, rich without funds, helpless for football and luck, comes before one of the semifinalists of the last World Cup assuming his secondary role. For the first time in more than a decade, Spain takes off the favorite suit and assumes that it should start (almost) from scratch. Fear? Not seem. «We are going to play the attack, to have the ball, to generate more chances than the opponent, to press as high as possible, to dominate all the phases of the game. Then we'll see, "said Luis Enrique, who debuted on Asturias Day, he, always bragging about it. Since 1955, the Spanish national team has played eight matches in this field and won only one, in 1981, the day the police returned Quini's freedom. It will be full, there will be hymns, it is an official match, the League of Nations. Under all these parameters, the project of the controversial, expectant coach is inaugurated, to which Luis Rubiales commissioned the regeneration, interior and exterior, of a team that last World gave pity. There were 11 new faces on the squad because Iniesta, Silva and Piqué said goodbye as before Puyol, Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Casillas, Villa or Torres, these last three did not voluntarily. The new coach also determined the absences of Alba and Koke, installed for years, and young England today measures the result of work this first week.
